Sexual Reassignment entails removing (or creating) an approximation of the genitals of the opposite sex.
Some of the people who pursue this surgery are from the following categories of gender-confused individuals:
- Transsexuals: Individuals belonging in this group were born into one gender but identify emotionally and psychologically with the other.
- Intersexed: An intersexed person is someone who was born with ambiguous genitalia, so doctors assigned him/her a specific gender at birth. Sometimes this assignment doesn't correlate with the biological XX or XY gender. These children are socialized as a certain gender, but as they grow older, they might not necessarily identify as they were assigned and would want to switch to the opposite gender.
